Thinking About How Johnny And Alex Met At A Shitty Night Job And Decided A Few Years Later To Write An

Has any mentioned the class a drugs Sherlock does? Because it’s so funny how many adaptions ignore his opioid habit from the original stories, meanwhile Sherlock and Co is all “yeah, he does the hardcore shit”

I love it

THE ABSOLUTE STATE OF ARTHUR LESTER

feeling very normal about atsushi wearing rashomon. very normal

Monsters learning to be human is one of my favorite tropes in stories and I love the way Malevolent handles it. Yes, John learns that he’s more than his past and learns to love Arthur and humanity, but not only does he “become good” he is also gains all the selfish emotions that come with being human.

Take lying for example. In seasons 1 + 2 he lies because that’s what he knows as the King in Yellow. He lies and manipulates for his own benefit. He does so uncaring how that affects Arthur because he is just an end to a means. And it’s hard to tell when he’s lied as he only points it out when he knows it would hurt Arthur.

Compare that to season 3 + 4. Despite lying being the core of who he was as the king, he gets kinda bad at it. It’s pretty clear that John is hiding things from Arthur about what happened to him when they were separated and why John wants to go to New York. He begins to sound so unconfident in his words because he now understands what he’s doing is wrong. Instead of lying to manipulate and hurt Arthur, he’s lying to try and hide the fact that he’s hurting him. He’s so scared of the repercussions of the bad thing he knows he did, that he lies to cover it and pretend it will all blow over. It takes a lot of guts to admit your own guilt, and deciding to shrink away from it instead is so human.

When John admits all his lies to Kayne in part 40 he just sounds so desperate. He truly believes that he’s in the home stretch. That just a little more lying and everything will be done and he won’t feel guilty anymore. He decided he’ll tell Arthur when it’s over because he believes Arthur won’t be that mad, that he’ll think “you did something bad, but it all worked out in the end so it’s okay”, but we all know that’s not how that works. He’s so horrified when it’s revealed Arthur heard his confession because he knew what was coming, all of Arthur’s feelings of betrayal, disappointment, and anger, and he wasn’t ready to face it. He feels so guilty that he probably can’t imagine Arthur understanding and forgiving him.

Of course Kanye’s deal makes this worse. John once again knows that this is wrong as he hesitates at the beginning. But once Arthur begins to threaten him to not take the deal, John decides to take it, once again trying to run away from the repercussions of his actions. John doesn’t know yet that lying more only makes things worse, and Kayne knows this and gives him one more bump to trip on before leaving John to the fate that he has been avoiding for so long.

Of course it’s enjoyable to see John gaining his humanity. Him showing compassion, sympathy, and enjoying the mundane parts of life like admiring the view or wanting to watch a movie. But humanity is a double sided coin that comes with emotions like jealousy, selfishness, and envy. It’s frustrating to see John make all these decisions that we know are wrong and will have bad consequences, but he hasn’t been in this position before doesn’t know how this will all play out yet. And we just have to watch him learn the hard way.

Among other things, Howl’s Moving Castle provides AMAZING representation for the girlies who take too long in the bathroom. Like, what do you mean 30 minutes is a long shower? Mr. Howl Jenkins Pendragon spends a MINIMUM of 2 hours a day in the bathroom getting ready. You can’t rush beauty fr

Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes attend regular-people school for one year as children. 

Great shenanigans ensue.

Also Michael sheen is a fucking sociopath

The desperate half-grabbing at Crowley’s shoulders. The way you can see his heart break the moment he pulls away. The absolute shock and devastation on his face as he realizes what he’s giving up. The hard touch to his lips after Crowley leaves as he’s trying to get back that feeling again. The looking back. The forced smiles. The absolute agony you can see Aziraphale going through all because he genuinely believes this is the only way to make things better and being with Crowley is not more important than that. Right? Right?

Michael Sheen owes me money

i think what’s on a person’s nightstand is very telling so reblog this and put in the tags the things you have on your nightstand

Also what the fuck was the im sorry dance. They really just did that and there was no further context. One of them said "do a silly little jig for my forgiveness" one day and they both just. Committed. What is wrong with them I wanna study them under a microscope

is THIS your man? [shows an image of a malnourished injured exhausted man with big sad eyes looking up at the camera with blood smeared all over his face and mouth. and he is visibly trembling]
